Then, the exuberant and delighted figure of Second Young Master Ou appeared at the door.
"Chuyi, your second brother knew you guys were getting your results today, so I rushed back from the military!" After speaking to his sister, Ou Cong immediately said to Ou ZhenTing, "This time I came back, I took leave in advance! Iâm not sneaking away!"
For Second Young Master Ou, remembering to ask for leave was already quite a commendable thing.
Seeing the excited Ou Cong, Xia Chuyi was completely used to it.
"Second Brother." She smiled calmly and greeted him.
"So, how did your exams go, Chuyi?" Ou Cong asked with concern, "Chuyi, youâre so smart, Iâm sure you did great, right?"
"Itâs okay if you didnât do well." Ou Cong said, "After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, Second Brother understands you!"
Xia Chuyi couldnât help but shake her head.
Heâs managed to cover both the good and the bad.
"Donât worry, Second Brother, I think I did quite well." Afraid that Ou Cong might overthink, Xia Chuyi quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Ou Cong said, "See, I knew it! Youâre amazing, as expected of my sister!"
"By the way, I just heard Dad talking about some âexchange studentâ thing, whatâs that?" Suddenly, Ou Cong asked everyone puzzledly.
"Oh, that, itâs nothing." Xia Chuyi said, "Itâs just the school selects a few outstanding students every year to go abroad for exchange studies."
"Exchange studies in other countries?" Ou Cong immediately got excited, "Isnât that amazing?"
In fact, she could understand both her fatherâs and her brotherâs reactions.
The reason was simple; at this time, it was different from later.
At this time, Country Z was vastly behind the West in both soft and hard power.
Therefore, having a chance to go abroad for exchange studies was a very rare opportunity.
Thatâs also why, when Liu Yingying returned after studying abroad, she carried such significant self-importance.
"Chuyi, do you want to go?" At this moment, she heard Ou Cong ask her.
Hearing Ou Congâs question, Xia Chuyi hesitated slightly.
It must be said, at this point in time, a chance to study abroad was indeed somewhat tempting for Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyiâs response was the same as she had just replied to Ou ZhenTing, "Well, I havenât really thought about it."
At this moment, Mrs. Ou said, "All of you are asking whether Chuyi wants to study abroad or not?"
"Have any of you thought about this? If Chuyi really goes abroad to study, we wonât see her for at least a year or more!" Mrs. Ouâs perspective was clearly different from the others.
Mrs. Ouâs eyes reddened as she held Xia Chuyiâs hands and said, "Child, if you were to study abroad, in a foreign land with no one to take care of you, I wouldnât be at ease at all!"
Hearing Mrs. Ouâs words, Ou ZhenTing suddenly came to his senses.
Right, he was just thinking about having his precious daughter graduate a bit later.
But if she really went abroad, they wouldnât see her for a year or more!
No way, thatâs too much of a loss, way too much!
So, Ou ZhenTingâs stance changed quickly, "Yes, whatâs so good about abroad? Our own home is better; we have a rich history and culture!"
"Chuyi, letâs not go, letâs not go!" Ou ZhenTing resolutely decided.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi felt rather helpless.
From start to finish, whether to go or not was never up to her, was it?
